Chapter 18 Ethnography
In fact, the study of ethnography is the beginning of truly integrating into this society.
There are a total of about 40 people in the Sun clan, including more than 20 children of the Sun family and more than a dozen people with foreign surnames, which is the size of a small class in later generations. The students in the school are not very old, and the oldest one is Sun Hao, the son of Mr. Sun Songnian of the Changfang, who is fifteen years old this year. The youngest is the kid of the boss Nie of Chengxi Pharmacy, who has just turned nine years old.
Even the eldest Sun Hao is a little kid in Sun Dan's eyes.
However, this group of children is undoubtedly the representative of the mainstream society, Shinong Industry and Commerce, this group of people will be scholars in the future, representing the mainstream social values.
Mixed with them, Sun Dan finally had a feeling of finally touching this society.
In the past, whether he was a homebody for three years of filial piety at home, or came to work in Sun's Mansion, he was in contact with the lowest level of society, and he could only observe a certain aspect of this society. It's not that he looks down on the low-class society, in his previous life he was also a peasant kid. But in later generations, even the son of an ordinary peasant can smoothly integrate into society after nine years of compulsory education. But in ancient times, your origins determined your horizons and the heights you could reach. The so-called material base determines the superstructure, and in ancient times, this point was especially naked.
In ancient times, there was no class system, these forty or so people were crowded together, and the level was uneven, some people were already able to do Bagu Wen, and some students still held the "Three Character Classic" to send Meng. However, this is fine, Sun Dan will not be so conspicuous when he is crowded in it.
In fact, not many people cared about Sun Danjin's ethnology. He used to be illiterate or talented, and he had nothing to do with others.
This was discovered after Sun Dan first entered the school, although he was secretly happy in his heart, he was still inevitably a little disappointed. He smiled bitterly: This is the answer, you think that everyone's eyes are on you, but in fact, they generally only care about themselves. Man is always a selfish animal.
This can be seen in the old steward of the school.
Early in the morning, Sun Dan went to the account room to advance this month's salary, and then went to the study building of the clan to pay the tuition, and received a set of four treasures of the study according to the rules, and lent out a set of teaching materials.
In fact, the textbooks of the Sun clan are not very surprising, just a set of "Four Books". The Four Books and Five Classics were must-read books for readers in the Ming Dynasty, and originally, Sun Dan had a set in his mind. But in order to pretend, he still didn't get a set. Fortunately, the four books are not thick, just four thin booklets. In order to learn to read and write traditional Chinese characters as soon as possible, Sun Dan specially borrowed a book of "Shuowen Jie Zi".
Written in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shuowen Jie Zi is the first dictionary in China arranged according to radicals, which is suitable for Sun Dan. It's a pity that "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" is too thick, there are five major books, and it is very troublesome to carry it with you.
Sun Dan came to the school on the first day, and the old steward looked at the voucher in Sun Dan's hand, and without saying a word, he handed over the books that Sun Dan needed one by one, and saved Sun Dan from explaining more.
After receiving the four treasures of the study and the textbooks, Sun Dan entered the classroom.
The family of the Marquis Sun of Huichang is the first school in Zouping County, and there are many Jinshi and Juzi in the school, and the distant Sun Jizong brothers do not say. In Sun Songnian's generation, the three brothers Sun Songnian, Sun Henian, and Sun Zhunian actually passed the examination at the same time, among which Sun Songnianyin made up for the marquis and did not participate in the examination. And Sun Henian and Sun Zhunian were awarded the Jinshi.
It is said that the style of study in such a talented school should be extremely rigorous.
But when Sun Dan walked into the bookstore, he was stunned.
It's just a mess inside.
The library is very large, full of eighty square meters, and there are more than thirty or forty tables and chairs in it. It's class time, but there are only about 30 people here. There were only 30 or so people who made a loud noise, and some were reciting the "Three Character Text", some were reading the "Shangshu", and some were hugging and fighting.
As for Mr. Teach, he snored quietly on the desk on the podium.
Just after the Spring Festival, the weather was very cold, and when I looked out of the window, the ground and flowers outside were covered with a thin layer of frost. But the earth dragon was burned in the house, and the warmth made people unable to lift their spirits.
Seeing Sun Dan's unfamiliar face appear at the door of the study room, the room suddenly fell silent, and more than 20 pairs of eyes stared at it in unison. Then there was a flurry of head-to-ear exchanges:
"Who is this person, looking at the clothes on his body, it seems that he is a family member in the house."
"I heard that it is a distant relative of the Sun family, it seems to be called Sun Dan."
"Yes, yes, yes, I've heard about it, and now I'm working as a gardener in the yard."
"What kind of relatives, there is nothing at all, maybe this kid is here to eat."
"You don't care if his identity is true or not, there are not many such mouths in the house. I've heard people say that he doesn't know a single word, and he wants to come and study. I'm sixteen years old, so what else can I learn? ”
"Hehe, what are you discussing, by the way, yesterday I got a rare thing, which was shipped from Borneo, do you want to see it?"
"Show me."
"Hey, if you have any money, borrow some. During the Chinese New Year, they all lost everything. ”
"Pull it down, my little monthly money has already been contributed to you, and I will borrow it again, what will you pay back?"
Sun Dan's appearance was just like throwing a pebble into the sea, and soon disappeared into the waves.
A group of students in the bookstore, the recitation of the recitation, the chat of the chat.
……
Hearing this noisy sound, Sun Dan had a headache. He didn't expect the order of the school to be like this, it was simply a second-rate middle school in the future. Seeing Mr. Teaching lying on the table and falling asleep, it is estimated that his mind is not on teaching and educating people.
Because no one cared about him, Sun Dan stood at the door and looked inside a few times, but he didn't know where he should sit.
Just as he was about to find a place to sit down, a pale and thin face appeared in front of him, "Brother Hao, it's him, it's him, it's him who hit me!" ”
The voice is high-pitched and uncomfortable to sound.
Sun Dan looked over in surprise, but saw that Sun Gui, who had not been seen for a long time, was pulling a fourteen or fifteen-year-old fat boy and looking at him viciously.
If you guessed correctly, this big fat boy is Sun Hao in the Sun family's room. This person is the overlord of the family, and he doesn't like to read, he fights cocks and lackeys all day long, and he has accumulated a group of children of the Sun family.
"Sun Dan, right, I heard that you bullied the junior?" The third child is Sun Gui, and there are three men in the Sun family's generation. Sun Hao is the eldest brother in the long room, Sun Yue is the second in the second room, and Sun Gui is the third. The big fat boy Sun Hao clenched his fists and walked over, "What a guts, you dare to send it to the door, we really want to be close to each other in the future." ”
The big fat boy is very distinctive, his fat is all on his forehead, a broad forehead is thick and bulging, like a small steamed bun. Behind him was the obscene and cowardly Sun Gui and two eleven or twelve-year-old children. It looks like a school bully in later generations.
Sun Dan didn't expect to meet someone who came to find fault on the first day, he was also an adult, if he was bluffed by a few children, it would be a real joke. He nodded slightly: "Yes, I beat him, what's wrong?" ”
Sun Hao suddenly grinned: "Brave enough, you can fight, or you will be brothers with me in the future." ”
Sun Dan was amused in his heart, and shook his head silently.
Before Sun Dan could speak, Sun Gui behind Sun Hao was anxious: "Brother Hao, you have to vent your anger for me, you promised to help me beat him." ”
Sun Hao pursed his lips disdainfully, lifted the book in his hand and smashed it on Sun Gui's head: "Useless things, lose my Sun family's face." If you are a good man, you will fight alone with Sun Dan. I don't look down on you like a bird, you are slapped but you don't dare to fight back, you are not a man. ”
"Brother Hao......"
Without waiting for Sun Gui to speak, Sun Hao lifted the book in his hand and pointed at Sun Dan: "If you want to be my brother, let the horse come, and our subordinates will see the real chapter." After this fight, you and I cut off the head of the chicken, burn the yellow paper, and drink blood wine. ”
Sun calmly looked over, and the cover of the book in Sun Hao's hand was impressively written with the three big characters "Water Margin".
Poor, another teenager who was poisoned by idle books.
"Water Margin" was finalized in the Chenghua period, and it has been fifty or sixty years since then, and it is the most popular bestseller today. As the saying goes: If you don't read the Three Kingdoms, you don't read the Water Margin. The dignified grandson family study, actually allowing students to read this kind of poisonous weed, it can be seen that the style of study is bad, and it can be seen that the corpse of the gentleman is vegetarian.
